That's what I get when I try to perform a Nandroid backup.. any ideas, this is how I did it on my old hero phone..

I had that same problem. Only way I was able to fix it was to delete some of the excess files from my SD card. I had a bunch of old backups, so I deleted them and it worked fine after that...

I already deleted the Nandroid folder. I have 6 gig free on SD, even tried different SD card.

Save everything on your sd, and repartition it.

That happened to me when my battery is below 30%

Full charge.... also on hboot2.02 A-off if that helps..
Also changed SDs and did all that

yeah its the under 30% battery thats causing that for SURE
just charge the phone and try again

You could always try running "nandroid-mobile.sh" via adb.

"Nand backup" works fine for me but "Nand + ext backup" (which is what you did) produces the same error that you show. I think the "+ ext" part is looking for an ext3 partition on your sdcard.

That makes sense, I'm used to my hero with 2.2 with apps2sd... I moved my installed apps to SD.. I'm assuming .android secured? Will that be backed up ?

*sigh* Did you try doing what it says to? Y'know... Run the script from adb shell? That usually tells you what's wrong...

i had the exact same issues as both of you. I had to repartition my sd card, then run nandroid.sh from adb then try it in recovery.
battery was always @ 100%

running from adb will usually produce an error in terminal as well

Tell it to move the recovery log to your sdcard and take a look at it, that should tell you whats wrong with it.

I thought if you had hboot 2.02 or 2.10 you need to use the new modded Aman RA-1.9. Flash the new recovery and see if you problems disappear.

How to run RUU with htc sync?

I'm going back to stock, and I just want to make sure I'm doing it right. I downloaded the RUU file, so now what do I do? Obviously I connect my phone to the computer, but then what?

Also, will this delete EVERYTHING off my phone, making it like brand new? Or do I need to do a factory data reset in settings first? I'm obviously not running stock rom.

Anyone?????

Yes it will erase everything. Just not stuff on emmc and your SD card.

So how exactly do I use it? I've never done it before. Got my phone connected, htc sync recognizes it, now I don't know where to go from here.

Honestly I find it much easier to just use the PB31IMG.zip version. Esp. since I have a Mac.
Simply download THIS and rename it exactly PB31IMG.zip. Put it on the root of your SD card, first make sure it is formatted to FAT32 or else hboot won't see it. Then boot into hboot, with the phone off PWR + VOL DWN. And wait a while for it to recognize and verify the image.
But first you will want to run S-ON to get totally back to stock. Do that in recovery first, flash like a ROM.

That's the method I tried first, but hboot doesnt see the PB31IMG.zip. The reason I wanted to try the RUU method is because I have no idea if my sd card is fat32, and if it isn't, how I get it to that.

Your SD card must not be FAT32. Backup everything on it, then in Windows XP/7 I assume, right click it when it's mounted, and select format. From the drop down menu you can choose FAT32. Then it will format it erasing everything. Then you can put the image back on and flash it through hboot. Did you run S-ON?

you would want to delete a SYSTEM app. like when you go into TB, they're the red fonts.
Or just download something into the ROOT of your phone or somewhere along there.
sdcard is internal
external_sd is your microsd
anything on the ROOT:apps, system, lib, etc is the system partition.

IF THIS IS ALL YOU SEE ON BOOT SKIP FIRST PARAGRAPH AND TRY SECOND BOOT IN TO RECOVERY AND CLEAR YOU CACHE AND DALVICK CACHE AND THEN UNDER ADVANCED RUN FIX PERMISSIONS AND RESTART. DON'T GET TOO UPSET IF THIS DOES NOT WORK I BET YOU JUST HAD SOMETHING GO WRONG AND A FRESH INSTALL OF A ROM WILL HELP [BE SURE TO CLEAR CACHES AND /DATA AT VERY LEAST I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WIPING SYSTEM BUT UP TO YOU].
You could also look in to e2fsck. If you use a terminal emulator or adb if you cant get past that screen and a computer you can copy e2fsck [be sure to find a version that works with android [or try to run it from /system/bin or /system/xbin as it should be there I believe and with google you can pull out the command for it and run a disk check on any mounts [fdisk -l should work] use adb shell from any computer [again google if you need to download adb]
Also, you guys do realize unless you go way out of your way to purchase a super fast SD Card installing apps to SD will really slow the phone down as a whole and with 2gigs of system storage and 11G of sd for "standard google app to sd" [basically widgets will not work if app is on sd so keep apps with widgets on phone] and still keeps the phone reading remaining apps from phones memory [using "root apps2sd" method you are basically tricking the phone in to thinking space on the SD is actually the phones memory and is why things like widget will run BUT phone doesn't know what is SD and what is phone memory in this scenario it looks the same so any media file indexing or regular system caches end causing heavy SD usage and can be a HUGE bottleneck [just saying lets not start nit picking and figuring out who is bigger these are just my 2cents and I recognize your views may differ from mine and that is totally cool with me just throwing out my 2 cents for newbs and others who WANT to read it ;-)[/B]
I am pretty sure someone explained this already your System storage is different than your SD Card and internal SD Card [even though from what I have read system storage is a partition of the USB storage]. You would have to either [add/remove apps to your phone storage [installing to SDCard would not change system storage value], clearing your cache and/or dalvick cache [see recovery menu [hold vol up+down as you power on phone and release as soon as you see the white Samsung logo [release vol keys BEFORE it goes away]. wipe cache is on main men and dalvick cache is under advanced. You could also move apps in manage apps from phone storage to SD Card [will use USB Storage if you have not inserted a "real" SD-Card in to your phone] This may cause widgets to break or apps to slow down so be sure to use your judgement.
RECOVERY MENU FIX [POSSIBLE] in more detail
If all that did not work clear your cache [main menu] and dalvick cache [advanced menu] and then go under advanced and choose fix permissions and allow that to run [depends on how many files you have as to how long this takes but it usually is not long at all and then go back to main menu and choose restart system and see if that clears the issue for you.

[Guide][How To] Fix Sdcard / Find backups after cm10.1 Flash!

We all had that problem, we can't find our backups after flashing Cm 10.1. IT IS FIXABLE! So why would you factory reset through Odin? Here is how to fix it.
Step One: Make sure you are on a ROM with the play store. (When I flashed CM10.1, I had CM10 still on my sdcard with the Gapps, so I flashed that.)
I use ES file explorer, but you use what you want. Be sure to rename any important folders just in case so the files don't over lap.
********************************
If you play games.. BACKUP YOUR DATA! THIS PROCESS DELETES GAME AND APP DATA! I AM SORRY! USE BACKUP PRO OR TITANIUM BACKUP IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH IT! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
*********************************
Step Two: Go into your 0 folder and highlight everything in there except Android. Shown here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step Three: Hold down on a folder and select "Move to"
Step Four: it will bring up a box, go up till you get to the parent folder, shown here, and select SDcard (Internal SD!).
Step Five: After Selecting the internal SD Card, hit "ok" and it will move everything up to your parent folder where the "0" is. You can delete the "0" Folder (Make Sure there is nothing left in there that you need!), reboot into recovery, and get your backups back!
-----------------------------------------
Hope that saves someone from doing a factory reset with Odin! Any questions just ask!

Won't this just be a problem later when you go to download more stuff. The phone will continue to store files in the "0" folder and not the internal SD card or will it reroute all files to that folder from that point on?

Only issue that I encountered was I lost a bunch of my pictures in the transfer, When I selected internal SD to move them to, a box popped up saying if I wanted to override something and I clicked yes...I wonder if that was the issue. Also I lost all of the files that I downloaded to the internal such as new roms.

[Q] any advice on fixing sdcard problems?

ive looked over the internet and found no solutions that helped
recent my samsung epic began giving me messages like microsd card unexpectedly removed etc. So i did what i read online and formated it on my pc and its "settings" of course i made a pc backup as well.
well it was all well for only two days and i got messages that now said sd card safe to remove. and the apps on the sd card wouldnt open no more and give a message of app not installed. so i factory reset in settings, format sd card again in settings I tried flashing a new rom, wipe data and dalvik etc ....
but the problem returns shortly after trying these ... on cwm log it shows me "cant format unknown volume /sdcard and /emmc"
now my pc and phone still read my card but it doesnt allow me to save anything or open anything on there such as apps, photos, etc.
now ive seen online suggestions of using odin or more cwm options that i have not tried because im not an expert at all yet. im in highschool so i cant really afford to expeirement myself and rather ask an expert on here.
if i should use odin or other options can someone please tell me how and what to do?
btw i have a 32gb sandisk card and im running cm10 and have never flashed other roms since i rooted first time. and i believe this started happening after i did a restore on one of my nandroid backups and i never wipe before restoring so maybe that might be the root of this conundrum i now face...

Tutorial on using ODIN and getting back to stock
Don't bother with the EL30 tar. Start just below that where the SPH-D700-FC09-8Gb-REL.tar download link is. That is the file which will give you 100% current stock.
EDIT:
After reading your original issue with the SD card...
You should remove the card from the phone.
Connect the card to a computer.
Backup whatever stuff you want to keep.
Format the card. (FAT32)
Move whatever stuff you backed up, back to the card.
Put card back in phone.
In CWM, run Fix Permissions in the advanced menu.
Optional: clear cache partition
Try again with the steps you took where you encountered the write issue to the card.
If you still experience the problem, then try ODIN to test against 100% stock.
If you still experience the problem on 100% stock (FC09), then replace the SD card.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That was my original reply in the other thread. Since you've formatted already, use the fix permissions option in CWM and try again.
If nothing, then go back to stock and try again. If that doesn't work, then replace the card.

Alright well I'm try this Saturday and post back here to let you know how it went

alright i just looked up what cables samsung has so i can which one i got and my mine i believe is their "travel charger" cable, the ends are a smooth glossy type plastic. it has the square shape adapter.

Have ya tried formating with your phone?
Seen that you tried it once before but when my epic's sd was glitching out simularly unmounting and remounting.
Or partitioning it for installing apps to it?
The other thing that maybe at fault is that when you formated with you computer is that it may have defaulted to a 'quick' format option. I've had nothing but mixed results with quick or fast formating option on windows and linux alike. There should be a check box option or advanced button in the formatting window on windows that gives the option for a full and lengthy format. Note: formatting on either your phone or your computer will sertianly delete the data, so, backup. One other note: when your doing something critical with data storige and such, its a good idea to close all other windows, espechealy the ones that are accessing your file system; such as file brousers and downloading files.
One more thing about restoring a backup on your phone after restoring the restore to a new or different sdcard: it can fail spectacularly if something gets corupted during all that movement and copying, so when you do get a sd card working whether it be new or newly formated it might be a good idea to make a new backup.

yeah i tried all of that and i used a full format and didnt even restore to it ..
im on stock right now and it seems to randomly unmount but remount by itself when it says scanning media...
im going to root again before the end of tonight bc it sux on stock and ill check to see if the problem persists and im going to try replace the sd card slot too tonight because i have a few epics laying around so i check back in here tommorow afternoon
its not my sdcard for sure bc it works flawlessly on other phones and my phone did it to other sdcards as well.

Best thing you can do imo is to get a new sd card. Unless its the hw on the phone. You could solder up your own I bet, if its new for you it will be aventurous!

well i was sure it was hard ware after the message appear on 100% stock but the good thing i have a few epics sitting around with cracked screens/bricked/other issues so i got replacement parts.
but i fixed the problem !
i opened my epic and took out it sd card slot completly off the motherboard and same to other epic and swapped them.
and it didnt require any soldering since the epic is bada** phone .. very precise placement required though to put the slot back on the motherboard but i matched it after taking my time lol
now im just to going to root and flash and be a happy camper.
thanks very much though guys now im more confident in unrooting my phone and i know how to as well.
it seems the problem is gonnne.

crappppp the problem returned but now it fixes itself right after but this can trick some of the apps.
like apollo .
i have a few songs on there and unless i pop out and reinsert the sdcard or reboot it Apollo will think i dont have those songs ...which sux bc i use it frequently but yeah im just try swapping the sdcard slots again .
